London weather: clearer skies and warm temperatures expected after downpours

Londoners will enjoy clearer skies and warm temperatures this weekend after the recent spell of wet weather.

Forecasters say although a front moving in across the Atlantic looks dramatic on satellite images, it will not bring any form of severe weather.

Instead tomorrow will be “mainly dry with some bright spells.”

Temperatures will reach up to 19C (66F) in the capital - well above 15C (59F), the average for this time of year in the south east.

Similar conditions will remain throughout the weekend - with temperatures reaching 20C (68F) in the capital on Saturday. However, there may be some “light scattered showers” in the evening, forecasters say.
